Dale Preece-Kelly

Dale Preece-Kelly is an Animal Assisted Therapy Practitioner who is seen worldwide as a pioneer in the discipline of animal assisted therapy. He has worked extensively in this field since 2010, almost exclusively within the mental health sector.

It is within the framework of mental health that Dale has honed his unique skills for helping rescued animals to overcome their issues, animals who then help those with psychiatric disorders to overcome their own issues.

Dale’s work is unique in regard to the fact that his non-human colleagues are highly diverse, and he works with a range of exotic animals, including skunks, chinchillas, African pygmy hedgehogs, tortoises, lizards, snakes, amphibians, and even insects, as well as dogs and rabbits.

All of these animals are Dale's own companion animals and live with him at home.
